Turns out that the county had taken possession of it it for delinquent taxes, but, according to the county minutes, did not know what to do with it because 1) it's zoned R3 residential, two family and 2) it's in poor condition.We live in a smaller county, population being only about 71,000, so I'm not dealing with an extremely busy county treasurer or clerk like in a large metropolitan area.

You may or may not be familiar with them being from California (they're based there).They've been extremely helpful in the process being my first.
